Nordic Trolls has opened a worldwide playtest for Under a Rock, inviting players to join the Steam PVE Survival Crafting Fest. This event gives gamers a chance to test the latest build before the full release. You can sign up now, but access is limited at launch and granted in waves via Steam notifications.

Nordic Trolls expands island map and adds survival systems to alpha build

Under a Rock is a survival crafting game that focuses on PVE gameplay. The current build is in the Alpha stage, so players should expect potential bugs. The developers have designed the experience for single-player only, meaning you will not find multiplayer features in this test.

This playtest expands on a previous summer test by adding a larger island map. The update also introduces Tier 1 survival systems to the game. These systems form the core loop of the experience, allowing players to engage with the world in new ways.

The gameplay features include resource harvesting, recipe unlocking, crafting, and combat. Players must gather materials to unlock new recipes and craft essential items. Combat mechanics are integrated into this process, requiring players to defend themselves while managing their inventory.

The playtest is currently available worldwide on Steam. It serves as a critical step for the developers to gather feedback on the expanded island and new survival systems. Players interested in survival games should keep an eye on their Steam notifications for access.
